February Favorites

How is it that February is almost over?! I swear, this month has flown by! I know it's a short month and all, but still. Oh well, we are that much closer to spring, and I can totally deal with that. Here's some things I have been loving this month.

1. The Walking Dead 

Yes, my beloved show returned this month, and I am loving it! I'm just waiting for some more Daryl action ;)

2. Coconut Oil

I've been using this stuff for a while, but only ever as a hair mask. However, this winter my skin has been horribly dry, like worse than normal. I'm talking alligator scales dry, and most moisturizers break my skin out, so I haven't had many options. Then I remembered I had this, and oh my gosh I swear this works miracles. I put it on my lips every night as well as on any dry patches I have, and the next morning my skin is so much more hydrated. It actually sinks into my skin instead of just sitting on the surface like other oils I've tried.

3. Philosophy Body Wash

This scent is my favorite of the Philosophy Body Washes. It smells ahhmazing! Do you remember that L'Oreal Kid's Shampoo shaped like a fish? The watermelon one? Well, it smells like that but better! And this body wash doesn't give me bumps, and it's actually pretty hydrating, which I could always use.

4. MAC Lipstick in Twig

This satin finished lipstick has been my go to lipstick this past month. It's the perfect pinkish brown. It looks kind of like my natural lip color, only darker. From all the swatches I've seen, it appears to show up differently on everyone. I also love that it's a satin finish so it doesn't dry my lips out!

5. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle

I love, love, LOVE this highlighter. It's amazing. I can't believe I haven't used it before now! This champagne gold highlighter is perfect for cheekbones, brow bones, cupids bow, inner corner of the eyes, bridge of the nose...it's just perfect! And it's subtle enough that I can use it everyday, and I not look like a disco ball. 

What were some of your favorites this month?

Favorite Youtubers

I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to fashion and beauty. Pretty much the only type of nerd I've ever really been. I study it, I practice it, I just love it. I can't help it :) Every day, or at least almost everyday, I watch my favorite YouTube beauty gurus, and seriously they have taught me so much about makeup, hair care, and skincare! So I thought I would give a shout out to some of my favorite girls.

ilikeweylie// She was the first beauty guru I ever watched on YouTube back in the day. First and foremost, I love her personality. She's hilarious and such a sweetheart! She's grown from just doing tutorials, to vlogs, diy, and advice videos. She's great!

fashionablyjamie & reviewsbyjamie// I've also been watching Jamie for awhile as well. Recently, her reviews channel has exploded, and I think she's been focusing more on that one. She's so honest in her reviews but never cruel. She also does a "fitting room review" which is unique to her channel. 

JaclynHill// I'm very new to her videos, but she has quickly become one of my favorites! Jaclyn is a fabulous makeup artist! I love all her tutorials and her skincare videos. She seriously makes me want to go out and buy everything she mentions. Her videos are so informative, and she's so easy to watch. I can't say enough good things about her channel. 

MakeupbyAlli// I love watching this girl the most for her eye makeup tutorials and favorites videos. My coloring is very similar to her's, so I find that almost all of her tutorials work perfectly for me. Alli uses a lot of neutrals, but her looks are never boring and are usually coupled with a pop of color on the lip. She's so pretty and has tons of flawless looks on her channel! Oh, and I'm totally in love with her fashion sense...so stylish!

SMLx0// I love Steph! I love watching her for full face looks, hair tutorials, and monthly favorites. Her tutorials are so easy to follow, and she works with a lot of neutrals so she's a girl after my own heart. Her hair tutorials are some of my favorites. If you are into big, bouncy, sexy hair, then she's your girl. Also, her bloopers at the end of her videos never fail to give me a good laugh.

ThatGirlShaeXo// And last but certainly not least is Shae. I've been watching her for a very long time, and I love her so much. She's so crazy and fun, not to mention a phenomonal makeup artist. She's not afraid of color, and I love that so much about her. Anytime I'm feeling adventurous or bold I use one of her eye makeup tutorials. I watch her the most for tutorials, reviews, and her empties videos. Her reviews are so honest, and she's not afraid to tell it like it is. Shae is so talented yet so down to earth...the perfect combination!

So if you ever have the time or desire to watch any beauty videos on YouTube, I would definitely check out these lovely ladies!
